“For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:”
Ephesians 5:29 KJV
Consider how abnormal it would be for a man to abhor and detest his own body - the opposite is true! He would much rather pamper it and fuss over it with tender care. It’s all you’ve got, you can’t trade it in for a new one, so take good care of it. Watch what you feed it, how you exercise it, and gently nurse it when it is in pain. Now get the message - you are the Body of Christ. He does not merely tolerate you politely - you are His joy and delight! He wants to spoil you and take good care of you! As the Body of Christ, love and care for one another with the same compassion Christ has shown you - because you love Jesus and have presented your body to Him as a living sacrifice. He cherishes you with tender loving care and warm affection. Believe it and receive His wonderful grace! Let the Body of Christ be strong and well taken care of! Amen!
